The scolex of the bothriocephalidean cestode Clestobothrium crassiceps was studied by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The comparative results of various fixation procedures and techniques are presented. The scolex of C. crassiceps is oval to globular and exhibits two deep bothria which appear in the form of two lobes separated by a longitudinal groove. At the apex of the scolex, resembling a beret, an apical disc is present (oval, flattened and with a sinuous edge). Our results are compared with those previously reported in other species of Clestobothrium. This study represents the first report which highlights the presence of an apical disc in the scolex of C. crassiceps. It describes the effects of different procedures applied to our material during preparation and a comparative analysis results obtained using these various methods.
Development and morphology of the scolex and mode of attachment of Wenyonia virilis Woodland, 1923, a caryophyllaeid cestode from the silurid Nile fish Synodontis schall (Bloch et Schneider, 1801), were studied by means of light and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Scolex and genital primordia changes through four stages of juvenile development are described. Longitudinal ridges do not appear on the scolex until the cestode has well defined genital primordia. This is in stark contrast to other caryophyllidean genera in which the basic morphology of the adult scolex becomes evident at the procercoid stage in the oligochaete intermediate host. The scolex of the adult has 13 to 19 prominent longitudinal ridges and deep furrows that come together at the apex to form an apical ring, a protrusible terminal introvert within the apical ring that forms a deep apical pouch when fully retracted, and a central group of Faserzellen. The scolex of W. virilis appears similar to the rugomonobothriate scolex of another African caryophyllid, Monobothrioides chalmersius (Woodland, 1924). Comparisons are made with other caryophyllideans having a scolex with a terminal structure: Monobothrium Diesing, 1863, Djombangia Bovien, 1926 and Caryoaustralus Mackiewicz et Blair, 1980. The terminal introvert may be responsible for attachment in early juvenile stages, but may be supplemented by the longitudinal ridges and furrows later in development. Host tissue appears to be drawn into these furrows that function as weak organs of attachment. We could not determine how the introvert of adult worms functions in attachment. At the site of attachment, the mucosa showed necrosis and degeneration and the submucosa exhibited vacuolization and infiltration with lymphocytes and leucocytes.
Comparative studies on the tegument of F. fasciolaris (Pallas, 1781) and F. czaplinskii Grytner-Zięcina, 1994, using transmission electron microscopy revealed in both species examined evident differences in the morphology of the tegument surface from various parts of the cestode body (scolex, pseudoscolex, strobila). Two categories of microtriches, characteristic for both studied fimbriariids, were found: (1) typical microtriches with a well developed basal part and an osmiophilic spine at the apex, present on the scolex and on the fan-like, polar side of the pseudoscolex, and (2) non-typical spineless microtriches, present on the small, aporal part of the pseudoscolex and on the whole surface of the strobila. The presence of numerous spiny microtriches on the pseudoscolex perhaps indicates an important role for the peculiar holdfast organ, in supporting the scolex in securing the attachment of fimbriariid cestodes in the host intestine. Details of the tegument ultrastructure of Fimbriaria species are described and compared with other cestodes, and their significance is discussed.
Scanning electron microscopy of the scolex and neck of the cestode Cathetocephalus thatcheri confirmed earlier light-microscope descriptions showing that the scolex consists of a single apical lenticular adhesive complex, oriented transverse to the long axis of the strobila. The apical region of the scolex consists of a medial ridge from which extend numerous pairs of short bilamellate septa. On each side of the medial ridge, along its entire length, is a ridge in the form of sinusoidal wave that forms a loop around each of the septa. The tegument of the anterior surface of the medial ridge is formed into numerous tegumental folds that are aligned perpendicular to the long axis of the ridge. Posteriorly, the scolex has a rugose surface and forms a collar or lip around the upper part of the adherent surface. The sinusoidal ridges are continuous around the ends of the scolex. At the ends, the medial ridge tapers considerably. The tegument of the neck bears numerous papillae. No microtriches were observed on any part of the scolex or neck.
Knowledge to date on the morphology of Fimbriaria tapeworms is summarised, with features of the genus being verified and augmented by some not previously taken account of, like the ultrastructure of the tegument. The most important features in accurate identification to the level of the species are the structure of the oncospheral envelope and the manner in which eggs are released from the uterus. Other features of diagnostic importance are the number of primordia of reproductive organs, the number of hooks at the cirrus base and the dimensions of the cirrus and cirrus pouches. A key to the identification of species is provided.
